Clearly this discussion is too one sided and this entire thread is a waste of bandwidth

Nope. But it could mean that you drive both ways.

I didn't realize we were taking sides.

I am one of the guilty as i think every one should drive an american car, I realize that many think this is crap,but often a view point has to do with cars and it is valid but hate against the individual should not be on a forum I have been guilty in a minor way ,but slaming those like archie wh are the LEADERS. this is reprehensible,there will never be complete agreement,,you can not keep personal views out but it must be reasonable and have something to do with the forum unfortunately this is an important original post ,when i first saw it i thought what a waste of a post but 2nd thought it is about fiero problems and the people who drive them will have a personality .. I know every one will not drive an american car it just bugs me how we destroy our biggest industry and it has to do with cars stan

There is no comparison. The trashcan is where one thread out of 100 (or more) ends up, and you can't start threads there. "RFT vs. the world" is a permanent, entire forum section with only one purpose.



What do you want to do about it? Sure,Real Fiero Tech was started by people that weren't necessarily on Cliff's Christmas card list, and for good reason. And Australia began as a colony for convicts. Hawaii was a leper colony. Move on. You're all bent out of shape about one section that is the least important section. Why does it exist? Why not? Maybe people want to vent about people and situations without worrying about a rating. If you don't like how you're being treated on RFT, speak up for yourself where you'll be heard.

I think this is a joke, personally. Just more schoolyard gossip.

(Yes, a turbo northstar thread directly affects me, so that's why I chose it.)



That's probably the dumbest thing I've read so far in this thread (and I've read a lot of dumb things so far from both sides of the fence). I bet anyone can find tons of things discussed here that have never been discussed there. And vice versa. That doesn't make one forum better than the other (or the other's tech section better than this one's).

I don't have a problem with RTFM. I believe PFF is mainly for people trying to keep their Fiero running. People can ask here how to change their oil, how to change a spark-plug, or even how to refill their windshield wiper fluid without being ridiculed. They can ask the simplest of questions, or the most complex questions here. That's what makes PFF a nice place. Because you don't have to be some Fiero Ubertech Geek (or FUG-er ) to be taken seriously and to be made feel at home.

But to say another place is better because something is discussed there and not here is, well, like I said pretty stupid.

And like I said, I don't have a problem with RTF or any other place. I have a problem with the people on those places rallying up other people to cause problems here. Or go and f-ck up my business forum. Or pretend to be me on a whole bunch of other places and post all kinds of "cool" "gay" remarks. Or forums that use *my* name as if I was one of the moderators (or make it seem I even visit those places for that matter). All that tells me is that apparently, these places can't get by on their own. They need to offer some incentive to get members. And usually that incentive is "PFF sucks, We are better. Cliff sucks. I am better".

But hey, I can already see in my referer log-files who is having a field day with this thread.

WTF?! Leader of what?! Because he kicks over a $100 a year to keeping this forum going he can push all of us around, even Cliff? Because he's been bolting smog motors on Fieros for 20 years, he's got to be relelvant to me in California? That's why I can't stand Cletus Archambault, because this kind of misplaced idol worship has gone straight to his head and he often acts like he owns the place.

Cliff, If you'd like to close this thread, that would be fine. It went in a different direction than I thought it would have. You are right that on PFF you can ask just about any question and not be made fun at. I posted the BMW supercharger build thread in the O/T section here and not on Bimmerforums because here people will appreciate it and ask questions. On Bimmerforums, people will beat it up saying the fuel line is 27mm too long in the one spot and so on. Now I am not trashing Bimmerforums, just stating the facts. I like Bimmerforums and have a lot of customers from there...I just know what to post and what not to post there.
I didn't expect RFT to flip out, but then again, I knew very little about them. i just wanted to know why they feel the need to trash everyone's Fiero. They wouldn't like my Fiero anyway. Why would anyone in their right mind want to try and syncronize and tune four carburetors with individual runners just to run in the 11's or 12's.

I've seen Archie's work up close. It looks pretty damn good to me. Remember, he was putting V8's in Fieros back when they were still making Fieros.
